The Wildheart Diaries with Lisa Parkes

Today on The Wildheart Diaries, I'm talking about the power and complexities of the Mothership. Let's explore why for years, women lose themselves in their children and in mothering others, leaving themselves at the bottom of the pile (after the laundry and washing up). How is it that we think being a good mother is to run ourselves ragged taking care of others, when we don't even know how to full...

Everything you want from life is on the other side of loving yourself....MORE! You’re NOT too sensitive, unlovable, unworthy or too much. It’s NOT that you’re failing when you don’t have time for self-care or things that make you happy. I bet you’re exhausted from trying though. It’s because nobody has ever shown you how to love and honour yourself…just as you are! It’s never too late to learn. Ge...

Today, on The Wildheart Diaries we're diving into your toxic puddle. Well, actually it's not something you want to dive in to. Your toxic puddle is the energy you live in and it impacts you and your life, perhaps more than you realise. It's a juicy one and as usual, there are lots of journal prompts to get you thinking. This is quite a big topic and is the first in a series of 5 episodes. To get a...

Let's talk more about why loving others seems easier than loving your fabulous Wildhear...

Today on The Wildheart Diaries I'm taking you on a walk with me across the stunning Surrey Hills as I share with you my daily journal practice and acknowledge the power of your pen.

If you want to set up a daily j...

Today, on The Wildheart Diaries I’m talking about starting all over again. I’m not a stranger to turning the page and freeing myself from situations that aren’t in alignment with my values. It’s not easy. It takes time, faith and Wildheart courage. It’s also overwhelming and scary. That’s why many of us stay stuck in toxic situation-ships and repeatedly do things which are no good for us. It’s bet...
